§ 80 The education fund. The common school fund, the litera- 
ture fund, and the United States deposit fund, shall continue to 
consist of all moneys, securities or other property in the treasury 
of the State, or under the control of any state officer, and of all 
debts due the State, or real property owned by it, belonging to 
such fund. The proceeds of all lands which belonged to the State 
on January 1, 1823, except the parts thereof reserved or appro- 
priated to public use, or ceded to the United States, shall belong to 
the common school fund. Of the income of the United States 
deposit fund, $25,000 shall annually be added to the capital of the 
common school fund. The remainder of such income, together with 
the income of the common school fund, and of the literature fund, 
and also such amounts as may be raised or received by taxation 
or otherwise or by transfer from any other fund shall constitute 
the education fund, and appropriations therefrom may be made 
annually for the support of the educational system of the State, to

ner provided by law, which apportionment shall be certified by the

from the general fund at the close of each fiscal year such an 
amount to the revenue of the common school fund, United States

tions over the revenue derived from the investment of the capital 
thereof. The moneys so transferred shall become and be a part 
of the education fund and be included in the amount raised by 
taxation for the next fiscal year. The amount appropriated by

school system of the State, shall be payable from the treasury upon
